As long as they had two bunches of each color, I'm not sure it mattered who carried them.

My biggest objection to Matt is that he looks like a serial killer. That smile during the intros screamed "Let's kill Batman". But at least he isn't Yogesh. (Yes, I now have a really low bar for tolerable contestants.) Me, too. Apparently dinosaurs walked the earth when I was a child. Fox 45 usually does but there was one a couple of weeks ago where they didn't for some reason. Fortunately the local NBC channel isn't the one which runs Jeopardy because I can't get METV on my satellite.

They did with the seasons I've seen on dvd. Not sure if they still do. But they definitely don't mention it during pledge drives.

They say that but they really aren't, even if you're on public sewer lines. Just like "flushable" tampons. They flow through your house sewer line but create clogs outside. I saw the Dude Wipes commercial and cannot express in English how much it offended me. They already do that. Pink women's pens from Bic, for example.

No, a woman inheriting the throne was not Targaryen tradition. The opposite, in fact, as we saw when the Great Council of Jaehaerys passed over Rhaenys in favor of Viserys despite her having the greater claim. That was the entire point of that scene at the beginning of the series, to show how resistant the nobles of Westeros were to having a woman on the Iron Throne. Okay, so this is my comment on the eternal argument. The trailers, both of them, were fantastic and really make me look forward to the new season.

Her having three bastards who clearly resembled their actual father rather than her husband was a huge mistake which had a broad effect on the realm. She could've chosen a husband who could father an heir for her but she chose to be a brat and blow off the tour of eligible suitors her father had arranged. That was not a mistake, that was a stupid decision. Then she almost fucked her uncle and chose to coerce her bodyguard into sex in order to scratch that itch. And all of that was before she stood there watching her half-brother getting his maimed face sewn up and decided to make the moment all about her sons being bastards instead. So no, I don't agree she's a good person. She's just a lousy as most of the rest of the adults. Although I do place most of the blame for creating the conflict on Otto and Viserys and Daemon. However, we've gone round and round about this in the episode threads and I know we're not going to agree, so I'm leaving this argument here and just go back to talking about how cool the trailers are.

I think there was a leg involving mining for emeralds in Colombia. Maybe it should be but it hasn't been since the very first season. Teams have always helped other teams when they wanted to do so.

It's fine if teams want to help each other, especially this early on, as long as they do it strategically. But don't whine if another team does not want to share info or work together.

He did say something early on about being the one providing the financial support but I assume there's either money from the parents or she's getting a housing stipend as part of her program.

Eh, it's both sides. Rhaenyra brought a lot of this on herself by making bad decisions and refusing to own them. Both sides are so concerned that they have the right to the throne and don't give a tinker's damn what their argument does to the realm. There are very few good people here, and none of them are the ones vying for the throne. And to be clear, I include Aemond in that none. I understand a good bit of why he's the way he is, but that doesn't mean I agree with everything he does. He's just so hot that I don't care.

I had absolutely no clue. Never read anything by Joyce. Or by Woolf, for that matter. I enjoyed the game but am glad Larissa won even though I liked all the contestants. I remember her original games and her appearance on the Jeopardy All-Stars tournament as part of Brad's brilliant team.

Especially since since the fictional uncle was more dynamic in his five minutes of screen time than Jonathan Rhys Meyers' lackluster Henry was in the entire first season. Which is when I stopped watching; I only stayed that long for Maria Doyle Kennedy's magnificent Catherine of Aragon anyway. Well, her and Jeremy Northam. Yeah, basically Jonathan Rhys Meyers was horribly miscast and I gave up after the first season because of him.

Me, too. But at least the first 3 contestants in this one were all people I liked during their previous appearances. And Pam wasn't using the full title of every category, which was very much appreciated. I so should've gotten FJ, with my interest in the US Space program and thus in the Soviet one, at least tangentially, but I had no clue. I was amused by the Ice Ice Baby category but got none of answers because I've never actually listened to the song. When I was a contestant, they specifically told us not to say the entire category title after the first time someone picked it so the game would go quicker. It's only this season where I noticed that had changed and everyone was saying the whole title. Sometimes having a little knowledge about a subject is a good thing. I probably should've gotten it because, as you say, if it's a male cosmonaut, it's almost always Yuri Gagarin. I think there might've been a clue about Vladimir Komarov once, but that could've been a different quiz show. (For future reference, if they ask about a cosmonaut killed when his space capsule crashed to Earth at the end of a mission, it's Komarov.) I knew it wasn't Dag Hammarskjold because I'd seen the Air Disasters episode about his plane crash and knew the year wasn't right, but I had nothing else. Maybe Yogesh will come back? /s

Not that you'd know it from all the lawyer commercials on US tv. You'd think it was the #1 cause. I don't necessarily think they were looking to blame anyone for Doreen's condition. I think they just wanted as much medical information about her in order to better prepare for her giving birth and the records they had were incomplete. But of course Sister Julienne would blame herself because that's sort of person she is. That could be very interesting too. Is she the one who isn't religious? That would be quite the conflict. The Baptist church my cousins attend wouldn't welcome someone who was divorced and remarried. Of course, they are pretty strict (still have the no dancing rule, for example); not all Baptist churches are that bad.

I know I hate her. Run, Jack, run!!! Bitch be crazy. I think Jack is cute in a average sort of way, but he is so wishy-washy. I'd rather be watching a show about the friend and the stone-cold fox he pulled.

I want that Aemond poster!!!!!!! Team Green all the way, baby!

Fuck, fuck, FUCK!!!!!!! That asshole shouldn't even have been invited back.

I could've phrased it better. I meant it was my impression, not that I thought she literally said that. Sorry for the confusion. I kinda liked the one with the guy and his kid at the football game, but only as a one-off. When I see that commercial, all I can think is "you're in your mid-40s and look every bit of it, so yes, a guy in his 20s is gonna call you ma'am".

Honestly, I could see why they wanted to fire Nolly, or at least not extend her contract. If they were looking to take the show in a different direction, and hiring an actress with a regional accent they actually wanted her to use hinted at that for me, she'd have been very resistant to any changes which did not meet with her approval. Of course, the way they did it was lousy, but hardly some national scandal, imo. I'll probably watch the rest since it's only 3 episodes but I can't I enjoyed it, exactly.

Not gonna comment on Yogesh. I should've gotten Yerevan because I know it's the capital of Armenia but I was thrown by "Eurasian" and never got there. I guess I just always considered it a European country but looking at a map, I can see where it might also be Asian. As indeed, one must. 😁 It did sound like he was addressing that whole mess, at least obliquely. Nor mine. I guess Teyve is the world's second most famous Jew, lol. I just suck at airport codes for the most part, no matter where they are.

I get the feeling I'm alone in this, but I hated the dinner party scene. And was kinda grossed out by it. I hope Heather is gone soon because she so does not bring out the best in Harry. Oh, and all those tropical birds are just going to die in Colorado, so that scene pissed me off.

Yep, we are Mid-Atlantic, too. 😁

I didn't say the commercial said something it didn't. It does, however, imply it, imo. You don't have to agree, of course.

To be honest, Delaware would be worth owning, given its position as a major financial center. But otherwise, it's a mostly boring state with some nice beaches. But hey, tax-free shopping? (Can you tell I live next door in Maryland? 😏)

He's previously talked about the Ben Franklin statue at Penn, so that makes perfect sense. Yep, spilled beer is the reason some dive bars encourage patrons to drop the shells from the provided peanuts on the floor.
